    摘要: A method for vane classification includes scanning, using a structured light scanner (220), a vane (230) for a turbine engine (20) to capture three-dimensional (3D) data about the vane (230). The method further includes generating a point cloud from the 3D data about the vane (230). The method further includes connecting, using a processing system (210), points of the point cloud to generate a mesh surface. The method further includes determining, using the processing system (210), an airflow for an airfoil of the vane (230) based at least in part on the mesh surface. The method further includes constructing the turbine engine based at least in part on the airflow for the airfoil of the vane (230) without reference to an adjacent airfoil of the vane (230).

    摘要: A turbine engine component (100) includes a wall (150) extending from a leading edge (170) to a trailing edge (180). The wall (150) includes a hot side surface (211) facing a gaspath when the component (100) is in an installed state, and a cold side surface (212) opposite the hot side surface (211). At least one minicore cooling circuit (290) is disposed between the hot side surface (211) and the cold side surface (212) within the wall (150). At least one cooling fluid inlet (214) connects the minicore cooling circuit (290) to a coolant source (213). At least one film cooling hole (217) connects the minicore cooling circuit (290) to the hot side surface (211). The minicore cooling circuit (290) includes an edge plenum (216) having a thickness (220) normal to the hot side surface (211) that is larger than a thickness (221) of the majority of the minicore cooling circuit (290) normal to the hot side surface (211). The edge plenum (216) is a portion of the at least one minicore cooling circuit (290) most proximate to one of the leading edge (170) and the trailing edge (180).

    摘要: A gas turbine engine article (60, 102) includes a cooling passage network (76, 176, 276) embedded in an article wall (68, 168) between inner and outer portions (68a, 168a, 68b, 168b) of the article wall. The network has an inlet orifice (78) through the inner portion to receive cooling air from a cavity (74, 174), a sub-passage region (80) that includes an array of pedestals (82, 182, 282), and at least one outlet orifice (81a) through the outer portion. The array of pedestals includes first pedestals (83, 83.1, 83.2, 183.1, 183.2, 283.1, 283.2) arranged in a first row (85, 85.1, 85.2, 185.1, 185.2, 285.1, 285.2) and second pedestals (84, 84.1, 84.2, 184.1, 184.2, 284.1, 284.2) arranged in a second, adjacent row (86, 86.1, 86.2, 186.1, 186.2, 286.1, 286.2). The first pedestals and the second pedestals define inter-row sub-passages (87, 187, 287) therebetween. Each of the inter-row sub-passages has an inlet mouth (88, 188, 288), an outlet mouth (89, 189, 289), and a compound channel (90, 190, 290) connecting the inlet mouth and the outlet mouth. The compound channel includes a first channel length (91, 191, 291) over which the inter-row sub-passage has a constant cross-section (91a, 191a, 291a) and a second channel length (92, 192, 292) over which the inter-row sub-passage has a non-constant cross-section (92a, 192a, 292a).
